Lyrics
May I have your attention, ladies and gentlemen, please?
I beseech your attention, for just a moment’s ease.
There's but one individual who truly merits mention,
And that is I, the authentic Slim Shady, you comprehend?
Now, allow me to present myself, without further ado,
For in this room, many may claim to be as true.
Yet, my dear audience, I must assert with clarity,
That I, and only I, embody the genuine Slim Shady.
Should you stand in line, attempting to emulate,
What you perceive as my distinguished fate,
Please, remain calm, cease this mimicry,
For I, the genuine Slim Shady, implore thee.
All the gentlemen who attempt to replicate,
My persona, my style, and my fate,
With your trousers pulled up to your chest,
Imitating my mannerisms, doing your best.
But, I must confess, it is rather flattering,
To see such dedication, your efforts battering.
Yet, alas, my dear fellows, you are but mere shadows,
For I am the genuine Slim Shady, who gallantly shows.
My lyrics, my wit, a touch of the whimsical,
Whilst you, dear imitators, remain so quizzical.
For you shan't grasp the essence of my identity,
I, the genuine Slim Shady, in all my verity.
Thus, let it be known, with utmost sincerity,
That I, and only I, am the true Shady, in my entirety.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let us cease this charade,
For I am the genuine Slim Shady, and thus, I have conveyed.
Now, a conundrum we face, a challenge most stark,
For the world seems to have gone quite bizarre, hark!
Celebrities engaging in ludicrous escapades,
But I, the genuine Slim Shady, stand undismayed.
Look at these film stars, in a grand parade,
Engaging in affairs, causing scandals to cascade.
But I, the genuine Slim Shady, stand resolute,
For my dignity remains, unwavering and absolute.
They ponder, "Will he make it in this theatrical realm?"
But I, the genuine Slim Shady, take the helm.
For I shall navigate this tempestuous sea,
With poise and grace, you shall all see.
Now, gather 'round, for a tale most grand,
Of a gentleman who dared to take a stand.
With a pen in hand, and a mind so keen,
I, the genuine Slim Shady, on the scene.
So, let it be known, from coast to coast,
That I, and only I, deserve the most.
For I am the genuine Slim Shady, without pretense,
A true original, in every sense.
Thus, my dear audience, let us end this farce,
For I am the genuine Slim Shady, and that is the crux.
Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you to be clear,
That I, the true Slim Shady, am standing here.
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up?
Please stand up, please stand up.
For I am the genuine Slim Shady, and there’s no doubt,
Now let us bring this song to an end, without a doubt.
